Through vigilant networking, the organization is one of the nation’s biggest Black professional groups. It has provided jobs, scholarships, mentors and other valuable resources to working Black engineers.The Twitter CEO was in the hot seat after recent and recurring accusations about diversity issues in the company stemming from former employee complaints and public outrage over hirings.
